4, but a lot of people who know me would guess 9 or maybe 5 if they knew about the Enneagram. What would fool them is that I look more serene than I really am, and that I also have a cerebral side. Both of those traits spring from my underlying Fourishness, though: the accommodating side because I'm too ashamed of myself to assert myself*; the cerebral side because intelligence is one of my few claims to specialness.

* Much more so in real life. Online, most of the reasons I feel defective are either invisible or easy to hide, and that allows me to assert myself whenever the need arises.

Enneagram vs. MBTI..which has more relevance in our psyches?

have no clue, but i read theory that mbti type is your "real self", and enneagram type defense mechanism.. so depending on your health level you either act more like enneagram type, or your true self - mbti.
sometimes mbti and ennea are similar, like enfp-7,
sometimes are complete opossites like infp-3.. so person is torned inside.

that's one theory, i have no opinion is it true, since i have no clue about enneagram.

I'm 1, 3, 6, and 8 all about equally.

Enneagram has the distinct smell of bullshit, but I'll play along.

When you've got a system where you're 4 out of the 9 possible types, yeah, I would have to agree.

I sure am a 3w2, with 6 and 9 in my trifix

purely instinctual :doh:


Also, the whole "wing" thing is just as bogus as the notion of MBTI's tertiary, inferior, and shadow functions. Which is to say that it's completely bogus.

Also, every Enneagram test is bogus, too. None of them actually work.

That's a sign that you might be a 9. I basically tested 1 through 6. You have to read the in-depth descriptions to tell.

ETA: if the concept of wings being neighboring is as theoretical as how my tertiary cognitive process is supposed to be an S of some kind, then dang. 4 fits my second a lot better than 1 does. 9w4, then?

I know enough about this system to say I'm either a 5 or a 6, but I don't yet know enough to narrow it down.

Edit: The more I read up on it, the more I believe I'm a 5w6 and not a 6w5. I voted 'I don't know', but I'm leaning toward 5.

I always score 5, but that almost seems contradictory with INFP, though I never really explored enneagram in depth. But I've also seen a few 5w4 INFP floating around...

Also, are there people who don't have a dominant enneagram as a part of the system, or do they just not fit any of them?

6w7, Social variant. My enneagram fits better than my MBTI type, it's staggering how tight a fit it is. They fight with each other though, because there are a few traits listed under the occasional ENTP profile that work against the enneagram.

If you think the enneagram is bullshit, it's probably because you've mistyped the hell out of yourself, I can't score 6 on any of the tests because they all suck balls. It was impossible for me to work out my enneagram until I got some outside help from Marcello.

I'm a 5w4, though I've been thinking that I may also be 5w6. I usually score high on 4, 5, and 9. My 6 and 7 scores are usually the second highest group, though significantly lower than the top three.

so/sx 6w7, the enneagram makes sense to me, but I think it takes a lot longer than MBTI to really get to know.

It has roots in spirituality, but is starting to become respected as a psychology.

Your main type is Type 7
Your variant is sexual


I don't know what this means. I don't trust my test taking anymore, I think I vote what I've decided I am vs. what I am, which I'm not really sure of.

I've scored 7 on every enn. test I've taken. Although it's all been within the last year.
